The Baton Rouge Gallery announced this week the popular Movies & Music on the Lawn series will make a return this summer. The series kicks off with local jazz-funk band Captain Green providing a new, original score to 2011's Oscar-winning film, "The Artist."

Movies & Music on the Lawn brings together local musicians and classic silent films. The bands create a new score for the films, which they play live as the movie is screened on the Baton Rouge Gallery's lawn.

Tickets for each of the showings are $5 for non-members and free for BRG members. Bottomless popcorn is included in the ticket price. Each film/performance begins at 8 p.m. or sundown — whichever comes second.
